About this map

Cornwall Furnace stands as a significant landmark in this riverine landscape, where the Chattooga River and Coosa River converge into the expansive waters of Weiss Lake. The topography is defined by the high ridges of Dirtseller Mtn and Bogan Mountain, which overlook a network of historic ferry crossings, including the Fort Armstrong Ferry, Lawrence Ferry, and Sewell Ferry. These transit points reflect a long-standing reliance on the river system for movement between settlements like Cedar Bluff and the outlying farming communities.

Genealogists will find a dense distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as Harton - Livingston Cem, McCoy Cem, and the Caledonia Cem at Newberry Crossroads. The map records a rural infrastructure organized around junctions like Howells Crossroads and Tucker Crossroads, punctuated by local institutions such as Ebenezer church and schools that served the dispersed population along Three Mile Creek and Cowan Creek.
